The Eagle Way

One of the most exciting and memorable locations in our school is the playground!  Children take great joy in the physical activity and social connections they make as they swing on the swings, zoom down the slide, or make a goal on the soccer field.  When all of our active children are following The Eagle Way on the playground, it is a safe and happy place to be.  Click here to enlarge The Eagle Way playground guide.

Destination Imagination

Our celebration of the new books last week was a blast! Students had a chance to preview all 620 new books and made wish lists of their favorites before books were available for checkout Wednesday morning! There was such a great buzz of excitement before school on Wednesday! The library had checked out 171 books by 8:30 am - as many as would usually be checked out in a day! (896 books were checked out this week!) The list of new books is available for you to take a look. and more will be added as they arrive. We are expecting 400 more books soon.
